“The enemy, the opponents, are out there. They’re on the other side of the negotiating table. Those are the people we have to negotiate with."

Philip Hammond, the UK chancellor and a leading remainer before the Brexit vote, later said he regretted "using a poor choice of words".

Who recommended Theresa May give a speech admitting Brexit "cannot be done"?

Alastair Campbell, formerly Tony Blair's head of communications, wrote the speech he suggested May give as an opinion article for the Guardian

"I think it is unthinkable that there would be no deal. It is so much in their interest as well as in ours."

Amber Rudd was giving evidence to the Commons home affairs committee, as debate increased over the possibility - and potential damage - of a "no deal" Brexit.

"We need to prepare for all the other alternatives."

David Davis said the UK's negotiating team was 'straining every sinew' to get a deal, but that it was important to 'prepare for all the other alternatives'.

Which country's leader said: "It's still not clear what the UK actually wants in terms of a new relationship."

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said, "on the one hand it seems that the UK wants to have a close trading relationship with Europe like it has now, but it also seems to want something different."

Who said European leaders had been left “bemused and confused” by Britain's attitude towards the Brexit negotiations?

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn paid a visit to Brussels to meet Michel Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator, as well as to give a speech at a meeting of the Party of European Socialists.

"This is a much better approach than threatening 'no deal'".

The Lib Dem leader Vince Cable welcomed Theresa May's new approach after she headed to Brussels for a summit of EU leaders, but added it was a "pity it was not made a long time ago."

"My advice would be, cut your losses. File an application for a Norway-style agreement for a period of five years after the expiration of the two-year Article 50 process."

Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek Minister of Finance, was speaking on BBC's Today programme.

“Merkel could be the peace broker. She is the only hope.”

The former Ukip leader, Nigel Farage, said that Theresa May's negotiation efforts had been 'absolutely dismal'.

“I don’t have any reason to believe we are not going to be successful."

Angela Merkel gave an upbeat report on the state of talks, though she did say the next stage of the negotiations will "undoubtedly" be more complicated. The European Union later announced that preparations can begin for the second stage of Brexit talks.
